[SOLVED] Should i buy it?

[CookieUniverse]

I have an intel core i5-6500 and a GTX 1050.
I plan on buying a RTX 2060 but I think it is going to be bottlenecked by the CPU.
What do I do?

Don't worry about bottlenecking. Get the RTX 2060 if the GTX 1050 is not meeting your needs.

There is no such thing as "bottlenecking"
If, by that, you mean that upgrading a cpu or graphics card can
somehow lower your performance or FPS.
A better term might be limiting factor.
That is where adding more cpu or gpu becomes increasingly
less effective.

Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

If your games are fast action type, a stronger graphics card is a good upgrade.
You will need a psu in the 450w range or better for a 2060

Buy it! You are going to see big improvement in most games.

I too think you should buy the RTX 2060. Its gonna work quite nicely together with your cpu.

What are you aiming for, high graphics setting or high fps? What resolution and Hz is your monitor?

Thank you all guys for the responses!

My psu is 750W so it´s fine right?

A 2060 is a huge upgrade over the 1050. However in cpu heave games at 1080p or even 1440p a 2060 will be held back some by your cpu. It will still work well just manage expectations as you may not see the fps reached in benchmarks with stronger cpu's.
